Kate Thornton still holds a grudge

Good on her I say

I agree. Also, why a male judge? 3 men on the judging panel and only 1 woman?

At least she's honest. I like her.

Didn't she do Xtra Factor? If so, is she leaving?

She did the Xtra Factor equivalent for Pop Idol but presented the main show from series 1-3. Holly Willoughby presents Xtra Factor atm

christ get over it girl.

I got dumped on my birthday but u dont see me going on about it.

Lmao, that's competey different, you were not on national TV!

I don't like the way she was unceremoniously dumped from the show. I didn't really rate her that highly when it came to presenting it, but it was unfair.

wasnt she the one who was fooling around with the contestants, or was that a rumour ?

I don't blame her at all - and Simon Cowell seems to be doing the same again with Danni Minogue in publicly and privately reassuring her that her job is safe, and then getting someone else to axe her a few months later. Considering Cowell's career is built around his so called honesty, it's a very nasty character trait.


As for a new male judge - yes, I think a new male judge would add alot to the show, but it should be replacing Louis, not Cheryl. I never understood why Louis was unsacked, and he just brings the series down IMO. He turned JLS from a promising new boyband into another ballad wrecking bunch of Westlife wannabes.

I still prefer Kate over Dermot, he's so childish.

Can't blame the poor woman.

Kate>Dermot.

Considering how positive the reaction has been to Holly on The Xtra Factor I don't think Dermot can consider himself too safe in the job now - though he's probably been saved by Holly getting pregnant.

Will be still be on maternity leave for the next series?

I'd say that puts his job in more danger- both her and Simon have said she is definitely returning and they would be daft to let her go after the viewer response. But the Xtra Factor presenter is needed a lot more than the main presenter in the auditions, and she'll give birth around May ... a month before the auditions. I hope she stays on Xtra Factor though. I like Holly but shes rubbish at presenting where she just reads an autocue (Dancing on Ice).

At the moment she would be my number one choice to replace Davina if the producers ever found the balls to replace her.

i dont like cowell anymore anyway....
it was bad the way she was dropped off the show...i think simon is going to do the same to dannii

Dannii isn't going to be a big loss from the panel. If anything, her replacement will make the panel even stronger.

Her and Caroline Flack are the only two I can ever see in that role and pulling it off successfully

I WANT SHARON BAK!!

cheryls boring, simons ok and louis is alright i quess. Daniis obv going so weee neeeeeeeeeeeed sharon back D: also i think cheryl should be replaced by a diff girls aloud memebr like sarah, someone with personality
